Further information regarding the Target Group is set out in the paragraph headed “Information on the Target Group” below.
Consideration
The Acquisition Price is initially HK$2,400 million, among which, as to HK$ 1,200 million for the First Acquisition, and as to HK$1,200 million for the Second Acquisition. In each case, such price shall be satisfied at each of the First Completion and the Second Completion in the following manner, which is subject to adjustment as set out in the paragraph headed “Adjustments to the Acquisition Price” below:
-
(i) as to HK$1,100 million by the Company’s issue to the Vendor (or such person(s) as nominated by the Vendor) the Tranche 1 Bonds or, as the case may be, the Tranche 2 Bonds; and

In the event that the Sale Debts exceeds the Acquisition Price, the entirety of such Sale Debts shall be assigned to the Purchaser (or to its order) at a consideration of the Acquisition Price less HK$1.
– 9 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Acquisition Price was determined after arm’s length negotiation with reference to the business prospects of the Target Group, a price earnings multiple of about 12 times which is derived from the Acquisition Price divided by the sum of the Guaranteed 2008 First Group Net Profit and Guaranteed 2008 Second Group Net Profit (as defined in the paragraph headed “Adjustments to the Acquisition Price” below), and the price earnings multiple with reference to the weighted average price earnings ratio of approximately 20 times of the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index and the Hong Kong Hang Seng Composite Index in energy sector as at December 2007. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms and conditions of the Acquisition are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. In the event that the maximum of HK$200 million (equivalent to the initial amount of the Promissory Note) for the Acquisition is to be satisfied in cash, such portion of the cash payment will be funded by internal resource of the Group and/or third party financing.
Adjustments to the Acquisition Price
Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Vendor represents and warrants to the Purchaser that as at each of the First Completion Date and the Second Completion Date:
-
(i) the audited consolidated net tangible assets of each of the First Target Group (before adjustment in relation to any valuation of any of the properties owned by it) as at the First Completion Date and the Second Target Group (before any adjustment in relation to any valuation of any of the PRC Operation Licences held by the PRC Subsidiaries in connection with the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses) as shown in the Completion Accounts shall not be less than HK$100 million (the “First NTA Warranty”) and HK$400 million (the “Second NTA Warranty”) respectively;
-
(ii) (aa) in relation to the First Acquisition, otherwise than those as shown in the relevant Management Accounts in respect of each of the First Target Group; and (bb) in relation to the Second Acquisition, there shall be no other borrowings, obligations or liabilities (whether actual or contingent) of the Target Group owing to any other party (whether the Vendor or its Associates or otherwise); and
-
(iii) (otherwise than those as shown in the Management Accounts or those disclosed to and agreed by the Purchaser in advance) there are no guarantees given by any Target Group whatsoever and howsoever.
If there occurs any breach of the warranty set out in (i) above, the First Acquisition Price (or the Second Acquisition Price, as the case may be) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the shortfall (or to the extent that the shortfall is not more than HK$25 million for the First Target Group, or HK$100 million for the Second Target Group, the Vendor may elect to make up the shortfall by payment as gift* to the First Target Company or to the Second Target Company, as the case may be, of such amount of cash as equal to the shortfall within five Business Days after the auditor’s issue of a certificate on the
– 10 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Completion Accounts). If there occurs any breach of the warranties set out in (ii) or (iii) above, the First Acquisition Price (or, the Second Acquisition Price, as the case may be) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of such additional liabilities, provided that if the shortfall in the audited consolidated net tangible assets of the Target Group is caused by the same liabilities in connection with the breach of the warranty (ii) above, the above adjustment to the First Acquisition Price (or, the Second Acquisition Price, as the case may be) shall be made once and shall not be double-counted. In the event of a reduction of the First Acquisition Price (or the Second Acquisition Price, as the case may be) pursuant to the foregoing adjustment, the Purchaser shall issue and deliver to the Vendor, against the delivery up for cancellation of the then Convertible Bonds held by it, new Convertible Bonds for the balance of the First Acquisition Price (or, as the case may be, the Second Acquisition Price) so adjusted and payable.
- The above mentioned “payment as gift” arrangement is an alternative way provided for the Vendor to make the shortfall by cash directly to the relevant Target Group, instead of the cancellation and re-issue of the Convertible Bonds arrangements, where such shortfall is equal to or less than one fourth of the First NTA Warranty (or, the Second NTA Warranty, as the case may be).
In the event that the amount (the “Vendor Retained First Debt” and the “Vendor Retained Second Debt”) calculated based on the following formula:
Vendor Retained First Debt = {The total consolidated or combined tangible assets of the First Target Group as at the First Completion Date} less {the total consolidated or combined liabilities of the First Target Group owing to parties other than the Vendor and his Associates as at the First Completion Date} less {HK$100 million}
Vendor Retained Second Debt = {The total consolidated or combined tangible assets of the Second Target Group as at the Second Completion Date} less {the total consolidated or combined liabilities of the Second Target Group owing to parties other than the Vendor and his Associates as at the Second Completion Date} less {HK$400 million}
is greater than zero, the Vendor Retained First Debt (or, as the case may be, the Vendor Retained Second Debt) shall be excluded from (and shall not form part of) the First Sale Debts (or, as the case may be, the Second Sale Debts), and the Vendor Retained First Debt (or, as the case may be, the Vendor Retained Second Debt) shall, notwithstanding the First Completion (or, as the case may be, the Second Completion), remain to be owing by the relevant members of the First Target Group (or, as the case may be, the Second Target Group) to the Vendor and shall be repaid by such members of the First Target Group (or, as the case may be, the Second Target Group) to the Vendor in accordance with the then prevailing terms of advances made by the Vendor or his Associates.
– 11 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Furthermore, the Vendor irrevocably guarantees to the Purchaser that the net profit after minority interests but before tax and before extraordinary or exceptional items of each of the First Target Group (“First Group Net Profit”) and the Second Target Group (“Second Group Net Profit”) for the financial year ending 31 December 2008 as shown in their respective Audited Accounts (“Audited 2008 First Group Net Profit” and “Audited 2008 Second Group Net Profit” respectively) shall not be less than HK$100 million (“Guaranteed 2008 First Group Net Profit” and “Guaranteed 2008 Second Group Net Profit” respectively).
If the Audited 2008 First Group Net Profit, or as the case may be, the Audited 2008 Second Group Net Profit is less than HK$100 million, then the First Acquisition Price, or, as the case may be, the Second Acquisition Price shall be adjusted by the following formula:
“Adjusted First Acquisition Price” = HK$1,100 million (Note 1) x (Audited 2008 First Group Net Profit/Guaranteed 2008 First Group Net Profit)
“Adjusted Second Acquisition Price” = HK$800 million (Note 2) x (Audited 2008 Second Group Net Profit/Guaranteed 2008 Second Group Net Profit)
Notes:
-
HK$1,100 million = the First Acquisition Price – the First NTA Warranty
-
HK$800 million = the Second Acquisition Price – the Second NTA Warranty
or where the Audited 2008 First Group Net Profit (or, as the case may be, the Audited Second Group Net Profit) is less than zero, then the Adjusted First Acquisition Price (or, as the case may be, the Adjusted Second Acquisition Price) shall be deemed to be zero.
In the event of a reduction of the First Acquisition Price or the Second Acquisition Price pursuant to the above adjustment, (a) the Vendor shall, within five Business Days after the date of publication of the audited accounts of the First Target Group (or, as the case may be, the Second Target Group) for the financial year ending 31 December 2008, make payment to the Purchaser for the reduced amount of the First Acquisition Price (or, as the case may be, the Second Acquisition Price) by way of either cash or the delivery up for cancellation of the then Convertible Bonds held by it, and (b) against the Vendor’s discharge of its said payment obligations pursuant to paragraph (a) above, the Purchaser shall (within five Business Days from the date of the Vendor’s discharge of the said payment obligations) procure the issue by the Company and delivery to the Vendor of the new Convertible Bonds for the balance (if any) of the First Acquisition Price, or as the case may be, the Second Acquisition Price payable on the basis of the First Acquisition Price, or as the case may be, the Second Acquisition Price so adjusted. For the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment to the First Acquisition Price or the Second Acquisition Price shall be made if the Audited 2008 First Group Net Profit or the Audited 2008 Second Group Net Profit is equal to or greater than HK$100 million.
– 12 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The rationale of the above adjustments is based on the commercial decision between the parties after arm’s length negotiation, with reference to the First NTA Warranty and the proportion of the Guaranteed 2008 First Group Net Profit achieved by the Audited 2008 First Group Net Profit, or as the case may be the Second NTA Warranty and the proportion of the Guaranteed 2008 Second Group Net Profit achieved by the Audited 2008 Second Group Net Profit.

According to the audited accountants’ report which prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards for the three financial years ended 31 December 2007 as set out in Appendix II to this circular, the First Target Group recorded an audited net loss of approximately HK$73,000, HK$292,000, and HK$1,200,000 for the period ended 31 December 2005 and for the year ended 31 December 2006 and 31 December 2007 respectively.

As shown in the Financial Information on the Acquired Plants and Machineries as set out in Appendix III to this circular, the profit before tax derived from the proposed acquired plants and machineries for the three financial years ended 31 December 2005, 31 December 2006 and 31 December 2007 were approximately RMB29,259,000, RMB5,796,000 and RMB4,806,000 respectively.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Given the date of incorporation of each of the First Target Company and the Second Target Company were on 28 November 2007 and 20 September 2007 respectively and the asset value showing in its respective record as at 31 December 2007 of approximately HK$7.80 and HK$7.80 respectively, representing its issued share capital of each of the company, are immaterial and have no material effect to the financial position of First Target Group and Second Target Group. The Second HK Company, which had HK$10,000 issued share capital as at 31 January 2008, was incorporated after the date of the accountants’ reports for the purpose of inclusion into this circular. As such, the Directors consider that, to economize the cost of the Acquisition, the accountants’ report of the First Target Company, the Second Target Company and the Second HK Company will not be prepared and not be consolidated into the Accountants’ Report on Huscoke Group and the Pro Forma Financial Information on the Enlarged Group I, II and III under the Appendices II and IV to this circular.
Other than the entering into of the Preliminary Reorganisation Agreement, the Second Target Company has not conducted any businesses since its incorporation.
REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION
The Group is principally engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of a diversified range of consumer home products. For the six months ended 30 June 2007, the Group recorded an unaudited loss of approximately HK$19.2 million as compared to a profit of approximately HK$6.3 million for the same period in year 2006. The loss was mainly due to stagnant sales and the persisting high levels of production cost as a result of fluctuating raw materials prices. The Directors consider that demand for household products slackened while competition was fierce that resulted in intense pressure on profit margins.
According to the US Energy Information Administration (the “EIA”), world coal consumption increases by 74% and international coal trade increases by 44% over the projection period from 2004 to 2030, while coal’s share of world energy consumption increases from 26% in 2004 to 28% in 2030. According to EIA, coal is the second-largest fuel source of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions behind oil, accounting for 39% of the world total in 2004 and it is projected to become the largest source by 2010. Furthermore, China and India together account for 72% of the projected increase in world coal consumption from 2004 to 2030 as strong economic growth is projected for both countries and much of the increase in their demand for energy is expected to be met by coal. Moreover, international traded coal made up 15% of total world consumption in 2004 and world trade coal is projected to grow at an average annual rate of 1.5%.
In view of the above, the Directors consider that the Acquisition represents an opportunity for the Group to diversify into the prosperous coal business and broaden its revenue base. The Directors currently have no intention to change the existing principal business of the Group. Save for the Company may invite person(s) who has substantial experience in the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses joining the Board to participate in the management of the newly acquired business, there will not be change in control of the Company as a result of the Acquisition. The Board is of the view that the terms and conditions of the Acquisition are fair and reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION ON THE GROUP
Financial effect of first acquisition
Prior to First Acquisition, the Company does not hold any interest in the First Target Company. Upon the completion of First Acquisition, the Company will directly and beneficially own 100% of the equity interest in the First Target Company and its subsidiaries. According to the accounting policies of the Group, First Target Group will be treated as indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and its financial results will be consolidated into the Group.
Earnings
The Group recorded an audited consolidated profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company of approximately HK$17 million for the year ended 31 December 2006. According to the unaudited pro forma financial information on the Enlarged Group I set out in Appendix IV to this circular, the unaudited consolidated loss attributable to the equity holders of the Enlarged Group I would be approximately HK$64 million after the completion of First Acquisition and the pro forma basic earnings per share will be approximately HK13.89 cents being the pro forma net profit of the Enlarged Group I divided by the total weighted average number of ordinary shares issued.
Assets
As at 31 December 2006, the audited total assets of the Group were approximately HK$394 million. As set out in the unaudited pro forma balance sheet of the Enlarged Group I set out in Appendix IV to this circular, the unaudited pro forma total assets of the Enlarged Group I would be increased by approximately HK$1,337 million to approximately HK$1,731 million, where the unaudited pro forma net assets of the Enlarged Group I would be approximately HK$444 million and turned to net tangible liabilities (total assets less goodwill less total liabilities) of approximately HK$749 million. The increase in unaudited total assets is mainly attributable to the net effect of increase in goodwill arising from First Acquisition of approximately HK$1,192 million and decrease in cash and bank balances of approximately HK$100 million arising from First Acquisition.
Goodwill of approximately HK$1,192 million arising from First Acquisition, which is derived from the consideration of HK$1,200 million minus the fair value of 100% interest in the net assets of Pride Eagle Group acquired which amounted to approximately HK$8 million as at 31 December 2006. The positive goodwill would be recognised in the consolidated balance sheet.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Liabilities

The increase is mainly attributable to the issuance of Tranche I Bond of approximately HK$832 million and the deferred tax liabilities of approximately HK$47 million.
The Directors are of the view that there would not be any material capital commitment nor contingent liability arising from First Acquisition that will have material adverse impact on the financial position of the Group immediately after the completion of First Acquisition.
Financial effect of second acquisition
Prior to Second Acquisition, the Company does not hold any interest in the Second Target Company. Upon the completion of Second Acquisition, the Company will directly and beneficially own 100% of the equity interest in the Second Target Group. According to the accounting policies of the Group, the Second Target Group will be treated as indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and its financial results will be consolidated into the Group.
Earnings
The Group recorded an audited consolidated profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company of approximately HK$17 million for the year ended 31 December 2006.

Assets
As at 31 December 2006, the audited total assets of the Group were approximately HK$394 million. As set out in the unaudited pro forma balance sheet of the Enlarged Group II set out in Appendix IV to this circular, the unaudited pro forma total assets of the Enlarged Group II would be increased by approximately HK$1,142 million to approximately HK$1,536 million, where the unaudited pro forma net assets of the Enlarged Group II would be approximately HK$486 million and turned to net tangible liabilities assets (total assets less goodwill less total liabilities) of approximately HK$336 million. The increase in unaudited total assets is mainly attributable to the net effect of increase in property, plant and equipment of
– 27 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
approximately HK$420 million, increase in goodwill of approximately HK$822 million and decreases in cash and bank balances of approximately HK$100 million arising from Second Acquisition.
Goodwill of approximately HK$822 million arising from Second Acquisition, which is derived from the consideration of HK$1,200 million minus the fair value of 100% interest in the net assets of Joy Wisdom Group acquired which amounted to approximately HK$378 million as at 31 December 2006. The positive goodwill would be recognised in the consolidated balance sheet.
Liabilities
The Group recorded audited consolidated total liabilities of approximately HK$172 million as at 31 December 2006. As set out in the pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Enlarged Group II set out in Appendix IV to this circular, the unaudited pro forma total liabilities of the Enlarged Group II would be increased by approximately HK$878 million to approximately HK$1,050 million. The increase is mainly attributable to the issuance of Tranche II Bond of approximately HK$832 million and the deferred tax liabilities of approximately HK$47 million. The Directors are of the view that there would not be any material capital commitment nor contingent liability arising from Second Acquisition that will have material adverse impact on the financial position of the Group immediately after the completion of Second Acquisition.

As at 31 December 2006, the audited total assets of the Group were approximately HK$394 million. As set out in the unaudited pro forma balance sheet of the Enlarged Group III set out in Appendix IV to this circular, the unaudited pro forma total assets of the Enlarged Group III would be increased by approximately HK$2,478 million to approximately HK$2,872 million, where the unaudited pro forma net assets of the Enlarged Group III would be approximately HK$707 million and turned to net tangible liabilities (total assets less goodwill less total liabilities) of approximately HK$1,308 million. The increase in unaudited total assets is mainly attributable to the net effect of increase in property, plant and equipment of approximately HK$435 million, increase in goodwill of approximately HK$2,014 million and decrease in cash and bank balances of approximately HK$200 million arising from First Acquisition and Second Acquisition.
Goodwill of approximately HK$2,014 million arising from First Acquisition and Second Acquisition, which is derived from the consideration of HK$2,400 million minus the fair value of 100% interest in the net assets of Pride Eagle Group and Joy Wisdom Group acquired which amounted to approximately HK$386 million as at 31 December 2006. The positive goodwill would be recognised in the consolidated balance sheet.
Liabilities
The Group recorded audited consolidated total liabilities of approximately HK$172 million as at 31 December 2006. As set out in the pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Enlarged Group III set out in Appendix IV to this circular, the unaudited pro forma total liabilities of the Enlarged Group III would be increased by approximately HK$1,994 million to approximately HK$2,166 million. The increase is mainly attributable to the issuance of Tranche I Bond and Tranche II Bond of approximately HK$832 million each and the deferred tax liabilities of approximately HK$94 million.
The Directors are of the view that there would not be any material capital commitment nor contingent liability arising from First Acquisition and Second Acquisition that will have material adverse impact on the financial position of the Group immediately after the completion of First Acquisition and Second Acquisition.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS
Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Group will be engaged in trading of coal, coal washing, electric power generation and transport services in respect of coal and other ancillary materials and generation of heat in the PRC. As the existing management of the Group does not have the relevant experience and expertise in operating the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses, it is expected that the existing personnel will be retained for the daily operation of the Target Group, and where appropriate, suitable new personnel will be recruited in the future. The Company may also invite person(s) who has substantial experience in Coal-related Ancillary Businesses joining the Board to participate in the management of the newly acquired business. With the existing clienteles as well as the existing revenue base of the Target Group, the Directors believe that the Group will be able to widen its source of income by diversifying its business into prospective energy related business and improving the Group’s profitability by broadening its business scope.
In view of the increase in demand for coal around the world, the Directors are optimistic about the performance of the Group as the Group’s investment in the coalrelated business is expected to improve the Group’s profitability, sustain its growth momentum, and broaden the revenue stream of the Group.
Accordingly, the Company will focus, including the corporate resources, on the development of the Coal-related Ancillary Businesses while the Company will continue to operate its business of design, manufacture and sale of consumer home products to maintain stable income stream to the Group.
PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$100 million (divided into 1,000 million Shares), of which 477,926,292 Shares were issued and fully paid or credited as fully paid. The number of Shares which the Company may issue and allot under the existing authorised share capital of 522,073,708 Shares is insufficient to issue of the Conversions Shares, if the conversion right attached thereto is exercised in full. In order to accommodate the allotment and issue of the Conversion Shares (upon conversion of the Convertible Bonds pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement), the Directors propose that the existing authorised share capital of the Company to be increased to HK$1,000 million (divided into 10,000 million Shares) by creating an additional 9,000 million Shares, which will be put to Shareholders’ approval at the SGM.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 31st December, 2006
1. GENERAL
The Company is incorporated in Bermuda as an exempted company with limited liability and its shares are listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”).
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is the same as the functional currency of the Company.
The Company is an investment holding company. Its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of a diversified range of consumer home products.
2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
In the current year, the Group has applied, for the first time, a number of new standard, amendments and interpretations (“new HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”), which are either effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1st December, 2005 or 1st January, 2006. The adoption of the new HKFRSs has no material impact on the results and financial position of the Group for both years. Accordingly, no prior period adjustment has been required.

APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies set out below.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and by the Companies Ordinance.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the consolidated financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.
Minority interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are presented separately from the Group’s equity therein. Minority interests in the net assets consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the minority’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. Losses applicable to the minority in excess of the minority’s interest in the subsidiary’s equity are allocated against the interests of the Group except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation and is able to make an additional investment to cover the losses.
On acquisition of additional interest in subsidiaries, goodwill was calculated as the difference between the consideration paid for the additional interest and the carrying amount of the net assets of the subsidiaries attributable to the additional interest acquired. If the Group’s additional interest in the net assets of the subsidiaries exceeds the consideration paid for the additional interest, the excess is recognised in the consolidated income statement.
Business combinations
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under HKFRS 3 Business Combinations are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date.
Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the cost of the business combination, the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
– 42 –
APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
The interest of minority shareholders in the acquiree is initially measured at the minority’s proportion of the net fair value of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised.
Investments in associates
An associate is an entity over which the investor has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture.
The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of the net assets of the associate, less any identified impairment loss. When the Group’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate), the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. An additional share of losses is provided for and a liability is recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of that associate.
Where a group entity transacts with an associate of the Group, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the relevant associate.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts.
Sales of goods are recognised when goods are delivered and title has passed.
Service income are recognised when services are provided.
Interest income from a financial asset is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives and after taking into account of their estimated residual value, using the straight-line method.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the income statement in the year in which the item is derecognised.
– 43 –
APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are recognised as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straightline basis.
Leasehold land and building
The land and building elements of a lease of land and building are considered separately for the purpose of lease classification, leasehold land which title is not expected to pass to the lessee by the end of the lease term is classified as an operating lease unless the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between the land and building elements, in which case, the entire lease is classified as a finance lease.
Foreign currencies
In preparing the consolidated financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recorded in the respective functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they arise, except for exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of the Company’s net investment in a foreign operation, in which case, such exchange differences are recognised in equity in the consolidated financials statements.
For the purposes of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Group (i.e. Hong Kong dollars) at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date, and their income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the year, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during the year, in which case, the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised as a separate component of equity (the translation reserve). Such exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which the foreign operation is disposed of.
Retirement benefit costs
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans, the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme and the state-managed retirement benefit schemes, are charged as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
Borrowing costs
All borrowing costs are recognised as and included in finance costs in the consolidated income statement in the period in which they are incurred.
– 44 –
APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax base used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the liability is settled or the asset realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to profit or loss, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the weighted average method.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets
The Group’s financial assets are classified into one of the three categories, including financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. The accounting policies adopted in respect of each category of financial assets are set out below.
– 45 –
APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss represent financial assets held for trading. The Group classified certain financial assets as investments held for trading. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised directly in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including debtors, bill receivables, bank balances and bank deposits) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the asset’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to a restriction that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated or not classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in equity, until the financial asset is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, at which time, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss. Any impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in profit or loss. For available-for-sale debt investments, impairment losses are subsequently reversed if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.
Financial liabilities and equity
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after deducting all of its liabilities. The accounting policies adopted in respect of financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities including creditors, bills payable, amount due to an associate and bank borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
– 46 –
APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised directly in equity is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment losses
At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s major financial instruments include debtors, bills receivable, bank balance and bank deposits, investments held-for-trading, creditors, bills payable, amount due to an associate and bank borrowings. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.
Market risk
Currency risk
Several subsidiaries of the Group have foreign currency sales/purchases denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of the relevant group entities, which exposed the Group to foreign currency risk. The Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, the management monitors foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arises.
Cash flow interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk through the impact of rate changes on interest bearing financial assets and liabilities. Interest bearing financial assets are mainly deposits with banks. Interest bearing financial liabilities are mainly bank borrowings. The Group does not have interest rate hedging policy. However, the management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider hedging significant interest rate exposure should the need arises.
– 47 –
APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
Fair value interest rate risk
The Group’s fair value interest rate risk relates primarily to fixed-rate bank balances and shortterm bank deposits from financial institution. The Group does not have interest rate hedging policy. However, the management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider hedging significant interest rate exposure should the need arises.
Credit risk
The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in the event of the counterparties failure to perform their obligations as at 31st December, 2006 in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as stated in the consolidated balance sheet. In order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits and credit period, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. The management closely monitors the subsequent settlement of the debtors and does not grant long credit period to customers. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debtors at each balance sheet date to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Company consider that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.
The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a number of counterparties and customers.
The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high creditratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
Fair value
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:
-
the fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using prices from observable current market transactions; and
-
the fair value of available-for-sale investments is determined by reference to the bid price quoted in a second hand market. The fair value of investments held for trading is determined based on the quoted market bid prices available on the relevant exchange or based on the relevant price quoted from the brokers.
The directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values.

For the year ended 31st December, 2005, the directors conducted a review of the property, plant and equipment held by two subsidiaries and determined that those assets were impaired. Accordingly, impairment losses of HK$1,215,017 and HK$163,224 have been recognised on land and buildings and other plant and equipment respectively. The directors reviewed the operation of a subsidiary which incurred continuous losses and decided to recognise impairment loss on the land and building held by this subsidiary with reference to the prevailing market price. The directors also decided to recognise impairment losses on all the plant and equipment held by an inactive subsidiary because in the opinion of the directors, these assets cannot be used by the Group any more, and their saleable value is negligible.

32. RETIREMENT BENEFITS SCHEME
Defined contribution scheme
Since 1st December, 2000, the Group has operated pension schemes under the rules and regulations of the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance (“MPF Schemes”) for all qualifying employees in Hong Kong. The assets of the MPF Scheme are held separately in an independently managed fund. The Group has followed the minimum statutory contribution requirements of 5% of eligible employees’ relevant income. The contributions are charged to the income statement as incurred.
The relevant PRC subsidiaries are required to make contributions to the state requirement schemes in the PRC based on 3% to 4% of the monthly salaries of their current employees to fund the benefits. The employees are entitled to retirement pension calculated with reference to their basic salaries on retirement and their length of service in accordance with the relevant government regulations. The PRC government is responsible for the pension liability to these retired staff.
The total cost charged to income statement of HK$3,447,479 (2005: HK$3,860,713) represents contributions payable to the schemes by the Group at rates specified in the rules of the schemes.
Defined benefit scheme
A subsidiary of the Company operates a funded defined benefit pension scheme for all qualifying employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Group in funds under the control of the trustee. The scheme was frozen at 30th November, 2000 and all qualifying employees were transferred to the MPF Scheme. The obligations of the scheme were also fixed at that date.
At 31st December, 2006, the market value of the scheme assets is greater than the scheme obligation of HK$1,923,177 (2005: HK$1,972,332). The excess of the scheme assets over the scheme obligation has not been recognised in the consolidated financial statements as the directors of the Company consider the effect as negligible.

6. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the six months ended 30 June 2007
Business review
For the six months ended 30 June 2007, the Group recorded an unaudited turnover of approximately HK$291,366,000, representing a decrease of 10.33% from approximately HK$324,920,000 for the same period in the previous year. The Group’s unaudited loss attributable to shareholders amounted to HK$19,239,000 compared with a profit of approximately HK$6,266,000 for the previous corresponding period. Loss per share was HK4.03 cents (2006 comparative figures for the same period: earnings per share HK1.31 cents). The loss was mainly due to stagnant sales and the persisting high levels of production cost as a result of fluctuating raw materials prices. Rise in wages and shortage of labor in Guangdong also further eroded the Group’s bottom line.
During the period under review, the Group continued to face severe challenges. The Group’s major markets remained sluggish. Demand for household products slackened while competition was fierce that resulted in intense pressure on profit margins. To enhance the quality of earnings, the Groups focused its efforts on orders with better profit margin rather than low margin sales orders, which eventually led to a decline in sales.
Bigfield Goldenford Holdings Limited
Bigfield Goldenford Holdings Limited (“Bigfield Goldenford”) recorded a half year turnover of approximately HK$165 million, a decrease of 6.35% from that of the previous corresponding period. Net loss for the period enlarged by 484% to approximately HK$16.14 million as compared to a loss of approximately HK$2.76 million in the first half of 2006.
Frankie Dominion (Holdings) Limited
Frankie Dominion (Holdings) Limited also recorded a decline in business operation during the period. Turnover decreased by 16.27% to approximately HK$132.12 million for the six months ended 30 June 2007 as compared to approximately HK$157.79 million for the same period in 2006.
Finance costs
As a result of decreasing bank borrowings, finance costs slightly dropped to 0.78% of the Group’s turnover as at 30 June 2007 compared with 0.91% as at 30 June 2006.

Charges over assets
Save for a bank deposit of approximately HK$2.9 million (2006: approximately HK$2.7 million), no other property, plant and equipment with any carrying value is pledged to any bank to secure banking facilities granted to subsidiaries.
Net asset value
As at 30 June 2007, net assets attributable to equity holders of the Company amounted to approximately HK$203.81 million (2006: approximately HK$209.17 million), equivalent to approximately HK$0.426 (2006: approximately HK$0.438) per share.
Liquidity and financial resources
Net current assets and current ratio were approximately HK$88,770,000 and 1.53:1 as at 31 December 2006 and approximately HK$80,653,000 and 1.54:1 as at 30 June 2007. A slight increase in current ratio is largely due to a decrease in bank borrowings.
The Group’s bank balances and cash equivalents amounted to approximately HK$57,841,000 as at 30 June 2007 (31 December 2006: approximately HK$81,424,000) and bank borrowings amounted to approximately HK$55,780,000 (31 December 2006: approximately HK$70,028,000). Therefore, the calculation of net debt to equity ratio was not applicable because the Group had surplus cash of approximately HK$2,061,000 over bank borrowings (31 December 2006: approximately HK$11,396,000).
As at 30 June 2007, the Group did not engage in foreign currency speculation or any financial instrument used for hedging purposes.
The gearing ratio (defined as total liabilities over the total assets) of the Group as at 30 June 2007 was approximately 42.98%.
The Group generally finances its business with internally generated cash flows and revolving credit facilities provided by the Group’s principal bankers. With net current assets of approximately HK$80,653,000 the management believes that the Group has sufficient financial resources to discharge its debts and to finance its daily operations and capital expenditure.
Prospects
The outlook for the household product manufacturing industry will remain extremely challenging. In this difficult operating environment, the Group is facing a rise in raw material and labor costs, gradual appreciation of Renminbi and shareholders’ expectation of improved bottom-line. The first two are results of the shifts in the macroeconomic environment and has an impact upon the final one. As

a manufacturer in Guangdong, the Group cannot change the macroeconomic environment. Nevertheless, the Group can ride on the mega trend and provide reasonable returns to its shareholders. To cope with changes in the macroeconomic environment, the Group will adopt the strategies in cost control, innovation and high efficiency.
Cost control is one of the most important means for improving our bottomline. Apart from streamlining our workforce, the Group will instill cost efficacy consciousness into all of the staff. With the implementation of various cost control measures, the management is confident to maintain our production and administrative costs at a competitive level. The Group’s research and development team has strong innovative capabilities in developing new products and they can enrich the product mix with enhanced features meeting market needs and commanding better price and margins. The Group continues to implement various measures to strive higher operational efficiency and lower wastage at all levels of the Group. The Group will further its efforts on negotiation with customers for increasing the prices.
With all of the above measures in place, the management is confident that the Group will be able to improve its results in the second half of 2007 and meet the shareholders’ expectation.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON HUSCOKE GROUP
REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Financial Information based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the Financial Information is free from material misstatement. We have also carried out additional procedures as necessary in accordance with Auditing Guideline 3.340 “Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant” issued by the HKICPA.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Financial Information. The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Information, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the reporting accountants consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and true and fair presentation of the Financial Information in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Financial Information.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
OPINION
In our opinion, for the purpose of this report, the Financial Information for Relevant Period I gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of Huscoke Group as at 31 December 2005, 2006 and 2007 and of the results and cash flows of Huscoke Group for the Relevant Period I in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards.
MATERIAL UNCERTAINTIES RELATING TO THE GOING CONCERN BASIS OF HUSCOKE GROUP
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 3 in the Financial Information which indicates that Huscoke Group incurred accumulated loss of HK$727,000, HK$3,645,000 and HK$15,644,000 as at 31 December 2005, 2006 and 2007 and net liabilities of HK$717,000, HK$3,635,000 and HK$15,634,000 as at 31 December 2005, 2006 and 2007. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 3, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about Huscoke Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is the functional currency of Huscoke Group.
2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRSs”)
The following new standards, amendment to standards and interpretations that have been issued but are effective for the accounting periods commencing on 1 January 2007 have not been early adopted:

-
2 Effective for annual period beginning on or after 1 March 2007. 3 Effective for annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2008. 4 Effective for annual period beginning on or after 1 July 2008.
The directors of Huscoke anticipate that the application of these standards, amendments or interpretations will have no material impact on the results and financial position of the Huscoke Group.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Financial Information have been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs (which also include Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) and Interpretations) issued by the HKICPA, accounting principles genrally accepted in Hong Kong. The Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is the functional currency of Huscoke Group and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (HK$’000) except otherwise stated.
At 31 December 2005, 2006 and 2007, Huscoke had net liabilities of approximately HK$717,000, HK$3,635,000 and HK$15,634,000 respectively. The shareholder of Huscoke, has confirmed that, it is their intention to provide continuing financial support to Huscoke, subject to the condition that the relationship between the directors and Huscoke does not change, so as to enable it to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due and to continue its business for the foreseeable future. The directors believe that Huscoke will continue as going concern. Consequently, the Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis.
The preparation of Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing
– 97 –
APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON HUSCOKE GROUP
basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Judgments made by management in the application of HKFRSs that have significant effect on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustments in the next year are discussed in Note 5 to the Financial Information.
A summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Huscoke Group in the preparation of the Financial Information is set out below:
Basis of preparation
The measurement basis used in the preparation of the Financial Information is historical cost except for certain financial assets and financial liabilities which have been carried at fair value as explained below.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of Huscoke Group. Control is achieved where Huscoke has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the consolidated financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Huscoke Group. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.
On acquisition of additional interest in subsidiaries, goodwill was calculated as the difference between the consideration paid for the additional interest and the carrying amount of the net assets of the subsidiaries attributable to the additional interest acquired. If the Huscoke Group’s additional interest in the net assets of the subsidiaries exceeds the consideration paid for the additional interest, the excess is recognised in the consolidated income statement.
Business combinations
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Huscoke Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under HKFRS 3 Business Combinations are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date.
Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Huscoke Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If, after reassessment, the Huscoke Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the cost of the business combination, the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
– 98 –
APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON HUSCOKE GROUP
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives and after taking into account of their estimated residual value, using the straight-line method.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the income statement in the year/ period in which the item is derecognised.
Leasehold land and building
The land and building elements of a lease of land and building are considered separately for the purpose of lease classification, leasehold land which title is not expected to pass to the lessee by the end of the lease term is classified as an operating lease unless the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between the land and building elements, in which case, the entire lease is classified as a finance lease.
Investment properties
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. On initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost, including any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at their fair values using the fair value model. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.
An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposals. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the consolidated income statement in the year in which the item is derecognised.
Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Rentals income from operating leases is recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other shortterm highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold and services provided in the normal course of business, net of trade discounts.
Sales of goods are recognised when goods are delivered and title has passed.
Service income are recognised when services are provided.
– 99 –
APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON HUSCOKE GROUP
Interest income from a financial asset is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount.
Borrowing costs
All borrowing costs are recognised as and included in finance costs in the consolidated income statement in the period in which they are incurred.
Foreign currencies
In preparing the consolidated financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recorded in the respective functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they arise, except for exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of the Huscoke’s net investment in a foreign operation, in which case, such exchange differences are recognised in equity in the consolidated financials statements.
For the purposes of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Huscoke Group’s foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Huscoke Group (i.e. Hong Kong dollars) at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date, and their income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the year, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during the year, in which case, the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised as a separate component of equity (the translation reserve). Such exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which the foreign operation is disposed of.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet when an entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets
The Group’s financial assets are classified into one of the three categories, including financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. The accounting policies adopted in respect of each category of financial assets are set out below.
– 100 –
APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON HUSCOKE GROUP
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss represent financial assets held for trading. The Huscoke Group classified certain financial assets as investments held for trading. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised directly in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including debtors, bill receivables, bank balances and bank deposits) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the asset’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to a restriction that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated or not classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in equity, until the financial asset is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, at which time, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss. Any impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in profit or loss. For available-for-sale debt investments, impairment losses are subsequently reversed if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.
Financial liabilities and equity
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after deducting all of its liabilities. The accounting policies adopted in respect of financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities including creditors, bills payable, amount due to an associate and bank borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON HUSCOKE GROUP
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred and the Huscoke Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised directly in equity is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.
Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. Huscoke Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill (or negative goodwill) or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where Huscoke Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to profit or loss, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to entity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.
Retirement benefit costs
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans, the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme and the state-managed retirement benefit schemes, are charged as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON HUSCOKE GROUP
Related party transactions
Parties are considered to be related to Huscoke Group if:
-
(a) the party, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, (i) controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, Huscoke Group; (ii) has an interest in Huscoke Group that gives it significant influence over Huscoke Group; (iii) has joint control over Huscoke Group;
-
(b) the party is an associate;
-
(c) the party is a jointly-controlled entity;
-
(d) the party is a member of the key management personnel of Huscoke Group or its parent;
-
(e) the party is a close member of the family of any individual referred to in (a) or (d);
-
(f) the party is an entity that is controlled, joint-controlled or significantly influenced by or for which significant voting power in such entity resides with, directly or indirectly, any individual referred to in (d) or (e); or
-
(g) the party is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of the employees of Huscoke Group, of any entity that is related party of Huscoke Group.
A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction where there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when Huscoke Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligations, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of a provision is the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligations.
Contingent liabilities and contingent assets
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of Huscoke Group. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably.
A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the Financial Information. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that the outflow is probable, it will then be recognised as a provision.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of Huscoke Group. A contingent asset is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the Financial Information when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. When inflow is virtually certain, an asset is recognised.

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Impairment losses
At each balance sheet date, Huscoke Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.
Financial risk management objectives and policies
Huscoke Group’s activities exposes it a variety of financial risks: credit risk, foreign exchange risk, liquidity risk and cash flow and fair value interest-rate risk. Huscoke Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on Huscoke Group’s financial performances.
(i) Credit risk
Huscoke Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in the event of the counterparties failure to perform their obligations as at the consolidated balance date in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets in the consolidated balance sheet.
In order to minimise the credit risk, Huscoke Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual counterparty at each balance sheet date to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts.
(ii) Foreign exchange risk
Huscoke Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the Hong Kong dollar and United States dollar. Foreign exchange risk mainly arises from normal commercial transactions. Huscoke Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, the management monitors foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign currency should the need arise.
Sensitivity analysis
Huscoke Group is mainly exposed to the effects of fluctuation in United States dollar. Since there is linked currency relationship between Hong Kong dollar and United States dollar, the effects of fluctuation in United States dollar is minimal to Huscoke Group.
(iii) Liquidity risk
Huscoke Group had net current liabilites of approximately HK$7,692,000, HK$11,306,000 and HK$77,620,000 as at 31 December 2005, 2006 and 2007 respectively. These indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about Huscoke Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Huscoke Group manages its liquidity risk by regularly monitoring current and expected liquidity requirements and ensuring sufficient liquid cash and intended lines of funding from major financial institutions to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and long terms.
– 104 –
APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON HUSCOKE GROUP
- (iv) Cash flow and fair value interest-rate risk
Huscoke Group is exposed to cash flow and fair value interest-rate risk through the impact of rate changes on interest bearing financial assets and liabilities. Interest bearing financial assets are mainly deposits with banks whereas interest bearing financial liabilities are mainly the bank overdrafts and borrowings. Huscoke Group does not have interest rate hedging policy. However, the management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider hedging significant interest rate exposure should the need arises.
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rate for interest bearing borrowing at the balance sheet date. For variable rate borrowings, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of borrowings held at the balance sheet date was held for the whole Relevant Period I. A 50 basis point increase or decrease in prime lending rate is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Huscoke Group’s:
-
loss for the year ended 31 December 2007 would increase/decrease by approximately HK$312,000 (2006: HK$62,000; 2005: HK$67,000). This is mainly attributable to Huscoke Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings; and
-
other equity reserves would not decrease/increase (2006: Nil).
Huscoke Group’s sensitivity to interest rates has increased during the current period mainly due to the increase in carrying amount of borrowings as at the balance sheet date.
Capital risk management
Huscoke Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard Huscoke Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for the shareholder and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, Huscoke Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to the shareholder, return capital to the shareholder, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
Consistent with others in the industry, Huscoke Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including borrowings and bank overdrafts, as shown in the balance sheet) less cash and bank balances. Total capital is calculated as equity, as shown in the balance sheet, plus net debt.
– 105 –
APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON HUSCOKE GROUP
Huscoke Group’s strategy is to maintain a reasonable gearing ratio. During the Relevant Period I, the gearing ratios are as follows:
| Total borrowings _Less:_Cash and bank balances Net debt Total equity Total capital Gearing ratio |
At 31 December 2007 2006 HK$’000 HK$’000 62,417 12,409 (3,882) (3,441) 58,535 8,968 (15,634) (3,635) 42,901 5,333 136% 168% |
2005 HK$’000 13,389 (3,349) 10,040 (717) 9,323 108% |
|---|---|---|
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Huscoke Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
(a) Impairment of assets
Huscoke Group tests annually whether the assets have suffered any impairment. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash generating unit is determining based on value-in-use calculations which require the use of assumptions and estimates.
(b) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
In accordance with HKAS 16, Huscoke Group estimates the useful lives of property, plant and equipment in order to determine the amount of depreciation expenses to be recorded. The useful lives are estimated at the time the asset is acquired based on historical experience, the expected usage, wear and tear of the assets, as well as technical obsolescence arising from changes in the market demands or service output of the assets. Huscoke Group also perform annual reviews on whether the assumptions made on useful lives continue to be valid.
(c) Fair value estimation
The carrying amounts of Huscoke Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities, including amounts due from related companies and director, prepayment and other receivables, borrowings, trade and other payables and amounts due to holding company and director, approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. The face values less any credit adjustments for financial liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate their fair values.

31/F, Gloucester Tower The Landmark 11 Pedder Street Central Hong Kong
20 March 2008
The Board of Directors Frankie Dominion International Limited 1st Floor, Yally Industrial Building 6 Yip Fat Street Wong Chuk Hang HONG KONG
Dear Sirs,
We set out below our report on the financial information (the “Financial Information”) regarding the Acquired Plants and Machineries (as defined herein) for each of the three years ended 31 December 2005, 2006 and 2007 (the “Relevant Period II”) prepared on the basis set out in Section 1 below, for inclusion in the circular of Frankie Dominion International Limited (the “Company”) dated 20 March 2008 (the “Circular”) in relation to the acquisition of certain plants and machineries for coal washing, electricity and warming heat supply as well as coal products transportation (the “Acquired Plants and Machineries”), pursuant to a conditional sales and purchase agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) entered into between Rich Key Enterprises Limited (the “Purchaser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Mr. Wu Xijian (the “Vendor”) on 11 January 2008 (the “Acquisition”). Particulars of the Acquired Machineries are set out in Section 3 below.
The Financial Information of the Acquired Plants and Machineries has been prepared based on the management accounts of 金岩電力煤化工有限公司 (“金岩電力 ”) , which have adopted 31 December as their financial year end date. 金岩電力 maintained their books and records in accordance with the relevant accounting principles and financial regulations applicable to the PRC enterprises (“PRC GAAP”).
For the purpose of the Acquisition, the directors of 金岩電力 have prepared the Financial Information of the Acquired Plants and Machineries in accordance with accounting policies which are in compliance with HK GAAP (as defined in Section 2 below) for the Relevant Period II. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Financial Information of the Acquired Plants and Machineries are the same as those used in the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, where applicable.
– 120 –
APPENDIX III
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE ACQUIRED PLANTS AND MACHINERIES
For the purpose of this report, we have reviewed the Financial Information in accordance with the relevant requirements of Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2400 “Engagements to Review Financial Statements” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”). This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Financial Information is free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provide less assurance than an audit. We have agreed the Financial Information to the underlying books and records. In the opinion of the Directors, the Financial Information has been properly compiled and derived from the underlying books and records of the Acquired Plants and Machineries. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the Financial Information. It is our responsibility to review the Financial Information and to report our review conclusion to you.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Financial Information is not properly prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of presentation as set out in Section 1.
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the Acquired Plants and Machineries comprised of plant and machineries for the manufacturing of furniture. The Acquired Plants and Machineries are currently owned by 金岩電力 .
The Financial Information of the Acquired Plants and Machineries is prepared based on the management accounts of 金岩電力 on a continuing basis as if the Acquired Plants and Machineries have been under the same ownership with effect from 1 January 2005.
For the purpose of inclusion in the Financial Information, the financial information on the operating results of the Acquired Plants and Machineries has been extracted from the management accounts of 金岩電力 . The Financial Information only includes income and expenses which are directly attributable to the operation of the Acquired Plants and Machineries, such as sales of products and operating costs for the Acquired Plants and Machineries. Indirect income and expenses such as selling expenses, general and administrative expenses, finance costs for working capital and non-operating income and expenses, have not been included. Income tax has not been included as it is calculated and levied on an entity level. The Financial Information of the Acquired Plants and Machineries has been adjusted to comply with the accounting policies as disclosed in Section 2 which are in compliance with HK GAAP.
The Financial Information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations of the Acquired Plants and Machineries that would have been recorded had they been operated under a stand-alone entity during the Relevant Period II because they have historically been operated by 金岩電力 and indirect income and expenses and income tax have not been considered.

APPENDIX III
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE ACQUIRED PLANTS AND MACHINERIES
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The Financial Information of the Acquired Plants and Machineries has been prepared in accordance with accounting policies which are in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong (“HKGAAP”). The Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention.
All material transactions among 金岩電力 in relation to the Acquired Plants and Machineries have been eliminated in preparation of the Financial Information of the Acquired Plants and Machineries.
Plants and Machineries
Plants and Machineries are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of items of plants and machineries over their estimated useful lives and after taking into account of their estimated residual value, using the straight-line method.
An item of plants and machineries is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the income statement in the year/period in which the item is derecognised.
Impairment losses
At each balance sheet date, the carrying amounts of the plant and machineries were reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.
– 122 –
APPENDIX III
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE ACQUIRED PLANTS AND MACHINERIES
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to 金岩電力 and when the revenue can be measured reliably, from sales of products, when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyers, provided that 金岩電力 maintains neither managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership, nor effective control over the goods sold.
Foreign currencies
The Financial Information of the Acquired Plants and Machineries is stated in Renminbi (“RMB”).
Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the applicable exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates.
On combination, the income statements of those Acquired Plants and Machineries which are denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Renminbi, at the weighted average rates for the year, for inclusion in the Financial Information.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when a present legal or constructive obligation has arisen as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligations, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of a provision is the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligations.
Estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below.
- (a) Impairment of assets
Impairment tests are carried out annually to determine whether the assets have suffered any impairment. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash generating unit is determining based on value-in-use calculations which require the use of assumptions and estimates.
– 123 –
APPENDIX III
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE ACQUIRED PLANTS AND MACHINERIES
- (b) Useful lives of plants and machineries
In accordance with HKAS 16, the useful lives of the plants and machineries are estimated in order to determine the amount of depreciation expenses to be recorded. The useful lives are estimated at the time the asset is acquired based on historical experience, the expected usage, wear and tear of the assets, as well as technical obsolescence arising from changes in the market demands or service output of the assets. Annual reviews on whether the assumptions made on useful lives continue to be valid are performed.

Our work consisted primarily of comparing the unadjusted financial information with the source documents, considering the evidence supporting the adjustments and discussing the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information on the Enlarged Group I with the directors of the Company.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information on the Enlarged Group I is for illustrative purposes only, based on the judgments and assumptions of the directors of the Company, and, because of its hypothetical nature, does not provide any assurance or indication that any event will take place in the future and may not be indicative of:
-
the financial position of the Enlarged Group I as at 31 December 2006 or any future date; or
-
the financial results and cash flows of the Enlarged Group I for the year ended 31 December 2006 or for any future period.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE ENLARGED GROUP I
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE ENLARGED GROUP I
1. Introduction
The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information on the Enlarged Group I has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the First Acquisition.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information on the Enlarged Group I has been prepared in accordance with the Rule 4.29 of the Listing Rules for the purpose of illustrating the effect of the First Acquisition as if the First Acquisition took place on 31 December 2006 for the consolidated balance sheet and on 1 January 2006 for the consolidated income statement and consolidated cash flow statement.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet, unaudited pro forma consolidated income statement and unaudited pro forma cash flow statement of the Enlarged Group I is prepared based on the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Group as at 31 December 2006, the audited consolidated income statement and audited consolidated cash flow statement of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2006 as set out in Appendix I to the Circular, the audited balance sheet of Huscoke International Group Limited, the sole subsidiary of Pride Eagle, (“Huscoke”) and its subsidiary (collectively referred to as the “Huscoke Group”) as at 31 December 2007, the audited consolidated income statement and audited consolidated cash flow statement of Huscoke Group for the year ended 31 December 2007 as set out in Appendix II to the Circular, after making pro forma adjustments relating to the First Acquisition that are (i) directly attributable to the transaction; and (ii) factually supportable.
The financial information of Pride Eagle is not presented in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial information because the directors of the Company consider that the financial information of Pride Eagle is not material to the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group I.
The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information on the Enlarged Group I has been prepared by the directors of the Company for illustrative purpose only and is based on a number of assumptions, estimates and uncertainties. Accordingly, the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information on the Enlarged Group I does not purport to describe the actual financial position of the Enlarged Group I that would have been attained has the First Acquisition been completed on 31 December 2006 and to describe the actual financial results and cash flows of the Enlarged Group I that would have been attained has the First Acquisition been completed on 1 January 2006, nor purport to predict the Enlarged Group I’s future financial position or results of operations.

APPENDIX IV
PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE ENLARGED GROUP I
- (IV) Notes to The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
Under HKFRS 3 Business Combinations (“HKFRS 3”), the Group will apply the purchase method to account for First Acquisition. In applying the purchase method, the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of Pride Eagle Group will be recorded on the consolidated balance sheet of the Group at their fair values at the date of completion. Any goodwill or discount arising on the acquisition will be determined as the excess or deficit of the purchase price to be incurred by the Group over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of Pride Eagle Group at the date of completion. Negative goodwill resulting from the business combinations should be recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement.
The adjustment reflects the following:
-
The total consideration to be settled by Rich Key Enterprises Limited (the “Purchaser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company for the First Acquisition is approximately HK$1,200 million which shall be satisfied by:
-
(a) Issuing a promissory note (the “Promissory Note I”) or in cash payment (solely at the option of the Purchaser) of HK$100 million to Mr. Wu Jixian (the “Vendor”). In preparing the unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, it is assumed that the Purchaser would choose to settle the consideration by cash.
-
(b) Issuing of convertible bonds of HK$1,100 million (the “Tranche 1 Bonds) at a conversion price of HK$0.40 per conversion share. Tranche 1 Bonds will not accrue any interest with a repayment term of 5 years.
-
The pro forma adjustments of approximately HK$4,519,000, HK$18,755,000 and HK$150,000 represented the increase on fair values on property, plant and equipment, prepaid lease payments of non-current portion and current portion, respectively held by Huscoke Group. The fair values of these assets as at 31 December 2007 were determined with reference to valuation as at 31 December 2007 carried out by B.I. Appraisals Limited, an independent qualified valuer not connected to the Group.
-
Goodwill of approximately HK$1,192,210,000 arising from the acquisition of Pride Eagle Group was derived from the fair values of total consideration less net assets of Pride Eagle Group as at 31 December 2007.
– 153 –
APPENDIX IV
PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE ENLARGED GROUP I
Pursuant to HKFRS 3, HKAS 36 Impairment of Assets, goodwill should be tested annually for impairment, as well as when there is indication of impairment.
Goodwill of approximately HK$1,192,210,000 arising from the First Acquisition is derived from calculation as follows:
| Consideration for the First Acquisition Less: Net liabilities of Huscoke Group as at 31 December 2007 Fair value adjustment on property, plant and equipment Fair value adjustment on prepaid lease payments Goodwill arising from acquisition |
HK$000 1,200,000 15,634 (4,519) (18,905) 1,192,210 |
|---|---|
The directors of the Company consider that the net assets value of Pride Eagle is not material to the Enlarged Group I, no net assets value of Pride Eagle was used in calculation of goodwill accordingly.
-
The pro forma adjustments represented the re-allocation of balances to other receivables or other payables assuming First Acquisition has been completed on 31 December 2006.
-
The pro forma adjustment of HK$10,000 represented the elimination of Huscoke Group’s share capital upon the consolidation of Enlarged Group I.
-
The pro forma adjustment of reserves of approximately HK$236,954,000 represented the elimination of the pre-acquisition reserves of Huscoke Group of approximately HK$15,644,000 and the equity component of Tranche 1 Bonds of approximately HK$221,310,000. For further details of the equity component of Tranche 1 Bonds, please refer to note 7 and 8.
-
In accordance with HKAS 32 “Financial Instrument: Disclosure and Presentation”, convertible bonds should be separated as liability component and equity component. In preparing the unaudited pro forma financial information, the face value of HK$1,100,000,000 has been taken to be its fair value as if it was issued on 31 December 2006. The adjustment of Tranche 1 Bonds of approximately HK$831,746,000 in the pro forma consolidated balance sheet represented the liability component of Tranche 1 Bonds based on the discounted cash flows method at the discount rate of approximately 5.75%.
– 154 –
APPENDIX IV
PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE ENLARGED GROUP I
-
The pro forma adjustment of approximately HK$46,944,000 represented the deferred tax liabilities arising from Tranche 1 Bonds as at 31 December 2007.
-
The pro forma adjustment of approximately HK$1,054,000 represented the adjustment on depreciation charges for the year ended 31 December 2006 in responses to the fair value adjustment as mentioned in note 2.
-
The pro forma adjustment of HK$47,825,000 represented the imputed interest expenses for Tranche 1 Bonds with the rate of 5.75% for the year ended 31 December 2006.
-
The pro forma adjustment of HK$100,000,000 represented guaranteed net profit pursuant to the sales and purchases agreement, in which the Vendor had irrevocably guarantees to the Purchaser that the net profit after minority interests but before tax of Pride Eagle Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2008 as shown in the audited accounts shall not be less than HK$100 million (the “Guaranteed 2008 Pride Eagle Group Net Profit”).
-
The pro forma adjustment of approximately HK$8,369,000 represented the adjustment of the deferred tax effect of Tranche 1 Bonds for the year ended 31 December 2006.
-
The calculation of pro forma basic earnings per share is based on the Enlarged Group I’s pro forma net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company of HK$66,403,000 and the number of ordinary shares of 477,926,000 of the Enlarged Group I upon the completion of the First Acquisition.
Pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share were presented in a single line because the conversion of the Tranche 1 Bonds was antidilutive while its conversion would increase the pro forma earnings per share.
- The pro forma adjustments to the consolidated cash flow statement of approximately HK$51,121,000 represented the recognition of Guaranteed 2008 Pride Eagle Group Net Profit of HK$100,000,000, depreciation charges of approximately HK$1,054,000 and annual finance costs of HK$47,825,000 for the purpose of adjusting the profit before taxation.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE ENLARGED GROUP II
- (III) Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
Under HKFRS 3 Business Combinations (“HKFRS 3”), the Group will apply the purchase method to account for the Second Acquisition. In applying the purchase method, the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of Joy Wisdom Group will be recorded on the consolidated balance sheet of the Group at their fair values at the date of completion. In preparing the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the carrying amounts of the Acquired Plants and Machineries were assumed to be significantly, the same as net asset value of Joy Wisdom Group. Any goodwill or discount arising on the acquisition will be determined as the excess or deficit of the purchase price to be incurred by the Group over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of Joy Wisdom Group at the date of completion. Negative goodwill resulting from the business combinations should be recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement.
The adjustment reflects the following:
-
The total consideration to be settled by Rich Key Enterprises Limited (the “Purchaser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company for the Second Acquisition is approximately HK$1,200 million which shall be satisfied by:
-
(a) Issuing a promissory note (the “Promissory Note II”) or in cash payment (solely at the option of the Purchaser) of HK$100 million to Mr. Wu Jixian (the “Vendor”). In preparing the unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, it is assumed that the Purchaser would choose to settle the consideration by cash.
-
(b) Issuing convertible bonds of HK$1,100 million (the “Tranche 2 Bonds) at a conversion price of HK$0.40 per conversion share. Tranche 2 Bonds will not accrue any interest with a repayment term of 5 years.
-
The pro forma adjustment of approximately HK$419,732,000 represented the Acquired Plants and Machineries obtained upon completion of the Second Acquisition. Details are set out as follows:
| Market value as per valuation report, in RMB | RMB420,700,000 |
|---|---|
| Exchange rate used in conversion | |
| as at 31 December 2006 | 0.9977 |
| Market value as per valuation report, in HKD | HK$419,732,000 |

Pursuant to HKFRS 3, HKAS 36 Impairment of Assets, goodwill should be tested annually for impairment, as well as when there is indication of impairment.

| Consideration for the Second Acquisition Less: Net assets of 90% equity interest in Joy Wisdom Group as at 31 December 2007_(Note)_ Goodwill arising from acquisition |
HK$000 1,200,000 (377,759) 822,241 |
|---|---|
Note: Net assets value at 90% equity interest in Joy Wisdom Group was assumed to be materially equivalent to the fair value of the Acquired Plants and Machineries as mentioned in note 2.
-
The pro forma adjustment of reserves of approximately HK$221,310,000 represented the equity component of Tranche 2 Bonds of approximately HK$221,310,000. For further details of the equity component of Tranche 2 Bonds, please refer to note 6 and 7.
-
The pro forma adjustment of approximately HK$41,973,000 represented 10% minority interest of a sino-foreign enterprises which will held interest in the Acquired Plants and Machineries.
-
In accordance with HKAS 32 “Financial Instrument: Disclosure and Presentation”, convertible bonds should be separated as liability component and equity component. In preparing the unaudited pro forma financial information, the face value of HK$1,100,000,000 has been taken to be its fair value as if it was issued on 31 December 2006. The adjustment of Tranche 2 Bonds of approximately HK$831,746,000 in the pro forma consolidated balance sheet represented the liability component of Tranche 2 Bonds based on the discounted cash flows method at the discount rate of approximately 5.75%.
-

-
The pro forma adjustment of approximately HK$8,369,000 represented the adjustment of the deferred tax effect of Tranche 2 Bonds for the year ended 31 December 2006.
-
The pro forma adjustment of approximately HK$2,845,000 represents the elimination of the 10% minority interest of the sino-foreign enterprises.
-

APPENDIX IV
PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE ENLARGED GROUP III
- (III) Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
Under HKFRS 3 Business Combinations (“HKFRS 3”), the Group will apply the purchase method to account for the First Acquisition and the Second Acquisition. In applying the purchase method, the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of Pride Eagle Group and Joy Wisdom Group will be recorded on the consolidated balance sheet of the Group at their fair values at the date of completion. Any goodwill or discount arising on the acquisition will be determined as the excess or deficit of the purchase price to be incurred by the Group over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of Pride Eagle Group and Joy Wisdom Group at the date of completion. In preparing the unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the carrying amounts of the Acquired Plants and Machineries are assumed to be significantly, the same as the net asset value of Joy Wisdom Group. Negative goodwill resulting from the business combinations should be recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement.
The adjustment reflects the following:
-
The total consideration to be settled by Rich Key Enterprises Limited (the “Purchaser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company for the First Acquisition and the Second Acquisition are both HK$1,200 million which shall be satisfied by:
-
(a) Issuing a promissory note (the “Promissory Note I” and “Promissory Note II”) or in cash payment (solely at the option of the Purchaser) of HK$100 million to Mr. Wu Jixian (the “Vendor”). In preparing the unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, it is assumed that the Purchaser would choose to settle the consideration by cash.
-
(b) Issuing convertible bonds of HK$1,100 million (the “Tranche 1 Bonds” and “Tranche 2 Bonds”) at a conversion price of HK$0.40 per conversion share. Tranche 1 Bonds and Tranche 2 Bonds will not accrue any interest with a repayment term of 5 years.
-
The pro forma adjustments of approximately HK$4,519,000, HK$18,755,000 and HK$150,000 for the First Acquisition represented the increase on fair values on property, plant and equipments and prepaid lease payments of non-current portion and current portion respectively held by Huscoke Group. The fair values of these assets as at 31 December 2007 were determined with reference to valuation as at 31 December 2007 carried out by B.I. Appraisals Limited, an independent qualified valuer not connected to the Group.

The directors of the Company consider that the net assets value of Pride Eagle is not material to the Enlarged Group I, no net assets value of Pride Eagle was used in calculation of goodwill accordingly.
| Consideration Less: Net assets of 100% equity interest in Huscoke Group/90% equity interest in Joy Wisdom Group as at 31 December 2007_(Note)_ Fair value adjustment on property, plant and equipment Fair value adjustment on prepaid lease payments Goodwill arising from acquisition |

The Directors
Frankie Dominion International Limited
1st Floor, Yally Industrial Building 6 Yip Fat Street, Wong Chuk Hang Hong Kong
20 March 2008
Dear Sirs,
In accordance with the instructions from Frankie Dominion International Limited (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) for us to value two properties (details of which are listed in the Summary of Values below, hereinafter referred to as the “Properties”), which are held by Huscoke International Group Limited (hereinafter referred to as “Huscoke”) and/or its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Huscoke Group”), we confirm that we have carried out inspection, conducted land searches at Urban Land Registry, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market value of each of the Properties as at 31 December 2007 (hereinafter referred to as the “Date of Valuation”).
It is our understanding that this valuation document is to be used for reference purpose in relation to the proposed acquisition of certain equity interest of the holding company of Huscoke Group, and for the purpose of inclusion in a circular to be issued by the Company regarding the proposed acquisition.
This letter, forming part of our valuation report, identifies the properties being valued, explains the basis and methodology of our valuations, and lists out the assumptions and the title investigation we have made in the course of our valuations, as well as the limiting conditions.
BASIS OF VALUATION
Our valuation of each of the Properties is our opinion of its market value which we would define as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.”
– 180 –
APPENDIX V VALUATION REPORT ON THE HUSCOKE GROUP
We have valued the properties on the basis that each of them is considered individually. We have not allowed for any discount for the properties to be sold to a single party nor taken into account any effect on the values if the properties are to be offered for sale at the same time as a portfolio.
Our valuations have been carried out in accordance with The HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (1st Edition 2005) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors and under generally accepted valuation procedures and practices, which are in compliance with Chapter 5 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and Practice Note 12 issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
VALUATION METHODOLOGY
In valuing the properties in Group I, which are held for owner-occupation by Huscoke Group, we have adopted the Direct Comparison Approach by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market.
In arriving at the value for the property in Group II, which is held for investment by Huscoke Group, we have adopted the Investment Approach by taking into account the current rents passing and the reversionary potential of such property.
VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS
Our valuations have been made on the assumption that the Properties are sold on the open market without the benefit of a deferred terms contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement that would serve to affect their values. In addition, no account has been taken of any option or right of pre-emption concerning or effecting sales of the Properties and no forced sale situation in any manner is assumed in our valuations.
No allowance has been made in our valuations for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the properties valued nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the Properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature that could affect their values.
TITLE INVESTIGATION
We have caused searches to be made at the Urban Land Registry. However, we have not scrutinized the original documents to ascertain ownership or to verify any amendments that may not appear on the copies handed to us. All documents and leases have been used for reference only.
LIMITING CONDITIONS
We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of the Properties. In the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. However, no structural survey has been made nor have any tests been carried out on any of the building services provided in the Properties. We are, therefore, not able to report that the Properties are free from rot, infestation or any other structural defects.
– 181 –
APPENDIX V
VALUATION REPORT ON THE HUSCOKE GROUP
We have not conducted any on-site measurement to verify the floor areas of the Properties but have assumed that the areas shown on the documents and floor plans furnished to us are correct. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificates attached are based on information contained in the documents provided to us by the Company and are therefore approximations only.
Moreover, we have not carried out any site investigations to determine or otherwise the suitability of the ground conditions, the presence or otherwise of contamination and the provision of or otherwise suitability for services etc. for any future development. Our valuations are prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred in the event of any development.
We have relied to a considerable extent on the information provided by the Company and accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, tenure, particulars of occupancy, tenancy schedule, floor areas and all other relevant matters in the identification of the Properties.
We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company. We were also advised by the Company that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view, and have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.
REMARKS
Unless otherwise stated, all monetary amounts stated in our valuation certificates are in Hong Kong Dollars (HK$).
We hereby confirm that we have neither present nor prospective interests in the Company, Huscoke Group, the Properties or the values reported herein.
Our valuations are summarized below and the valuation certificates are attached herewith.
Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of

Frankie Dominion International Limited 1st Floor, Yally Industrial Building 6 Yip Fat Street, Wong Chuk Hang Hong Kong
20 March 2008
Dear Sirs,
- Re: The fixed assets held by 金岩電力煤化工有限公司 in its industrial complex located at Xiaowu Road, Xiaoyi City, Shanxi Province, the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”)
In accordance with the instructions from Frankie Dominion International Limited (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) for us to assess the market value of the fixed assets (hereinafter referred to as the “Fixed Assets”) in Xiaoyi City, Shanxi Province, which include buildings and structures (hereinafter referred to as the “Buildings”) and machines and equipment (hereinafter referred to as the “Machinery”), and which are exhibited to us as those held by 金岩電力煤化工有限公司 (Golden Rock Electric Coal Chemistry Co., Ltd., hereinafter referred to as “Golden Rock”) and/or its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as “Golden Rock Group”) for coal washing, electricity and warming heat supply as well as coal products transportation services, we confirm that we have carried out inspection, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market value of the Fixed Assets as at 31 December 2007 (hereinafter referred to as the “Date of Valuation”).
It is our understanding that this valuation document is to be used for disclosure purpose in relation to the proposed acquisition of the Fixed Assets by the Company and/ or its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the “Group”).
This letter, forming part of our valuation report, identifies the fixed assets being valued; explains the basis and methodology of our valuation; lists out the assumptions, the title investigation and the limiting conditions made in the course of our valuation; and states our opinion of value.
– 187 –
APPENDIX VI
VALUATION REPORT ON THE COAL–RELATED ANCILLARY BUSINESS
BASIS OF VALUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
The objective of our valuation is to provide an independent opinion of the market value of the invested capital by Golden Rock in the Fixed Assets as at the Date of Valuation at ongoing basis.
The market value is defined as “the estimated amount for which an asset should exchange on the Date of Valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.”
We further assumed that, subject to the above definition, both the buyer and the seller contemplate the retention of the Fixed Assets at their existing state for the continuation of the current operations as a going concern business, and both seeking their maximum economic self-interest in arriving at an arm’s-length transaction. The market value in continued existing use is further defined as the market value of an asset based on continuation of its existing use as part of an on-going business, assuming the asset could be sold in the open market for its existing use, and otherwise in keeping with the market value definition regardless of whether or not the existing use represents the highest and best use of the asset.
The opinion of the market value in continued existing use is not necessarily intended to represent the amount that might be realized from piecemeal disposal of the Fixed Assets or from some other alternate uses.
We have valued the Buildings and the Machinery on the basis that each of them is considered individually. Our valuation of the Fixed Assets is the aggregate value of the Buildings and the Machinery and we have not applied any bulk discount.
This investigation is concerned solely with the values of the Fixed Assets. Excluded from this investigation are land, supplies, inventories, materials on hand, spare parts and all other tangible assets of current nature and intangible assets that might exist. Our opinions of value are not related to the earning capacity of the business. It is assumed that prospective earnings are adequate to support the concluded value of the Fixed Assets plus the value of other assets not included in this valuation, and sufficient net working capital. This report does not attempt to arrive at the value of Golden Rock as a total business entity.
Our valuation on the market value of the Fixed Assets has been made on the assumption that the Fixed Assets have been completely built and/or installed as at the Date of Valuation and is sold on the open market without the benefit of a deferred terms contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement that would serve to affect the value of the Fixed Assets. In addition, no account has been taken of any option or right of pre-emption concerning or effecting sales of the Fixed Assets and no forced sale situation in any manner is assumed in our valuation.
– 188 –
APPENDIX VI
VALUATION REPORT ON THE COAL–RELATED ANCILLARY BUSINESS
No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the fixed assets valued nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the Fixed Assets are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature that could affect their values.
Other specific assumptions, if any, have been stated in the footnotes of the valuation certificate.
VALUATION METHODOLOGY & PROCEDURES
In assessing the market value of the Buildings, we have adopted the Depreciated Replacement Cost (“DRC”) method. The DRC method is based on an estimate of the cost to reproduce or replace in new conditions the buildings and structures being valued in accordance with current construction costs for similar buildings and structures in the locality, with allowance for accrued depreciation as evidenced by observed condition or obsolescence present, whether arising from physical, functional or economic causes. The DRC method generally furnishes the most reliable indication of value for property in the absence of a known market based on comparable sales.
In arriving at our opinion of the market value of the Machinery, we have considered the three generally accepted methods to value: the Depreciated Replacement Cost Method, Market Comparable Method and Income Capitalization Method. The theory of each of these methods is outlined as follows:
1) The Depreciated Replacement Cost Method
The Depreciated Replacement Cost Method establishes value based on the cost of reproducing or replacing in new condition the assets appraised in accordance with current market prices for similar assets, with allowance for accrued depreciation arising from condition, utility, age, wear and tear, or physical deterioration and obsolescence present (functional or economic) taking into account past and present maintenance policy and rebuilding history.
Reproduction Cost New is defined as the estimated current cost of reproducing a new replica of an asset with the same or closely similar materials.
Replacement Cost New is defined as the estimated current cost of the new asset having the nearest equivalent utility as the asset being appraised.
Physical Deterioration is the loss in value of an asset from wear and tear of asset in operation and exposure to various elements.
Functional Obsolescence is the loss in value due to factors inherent in the asset itself and changes in design, materials, or process that result in inadequacy, over capacity, excess construction, lack of functional utility or excess operating costs, etc.
– 189 –
APPENDIX VI
VALUATION REPORT ON THE COAL–RELATED ANCILLARY BUSINESS
Economic Obsolescence is an incurable loss in value caused by unfavorable external conditions.
When market transactions of comparable assets are not available, when data cannot be extrapolated from larger transactions, or when transactions are nonexistent, under premise of continued use and assuming adequate earnings, the Depreciated Replacement Cost Method is the preferred appraisal procedure.
2) The Market Comparable Method
The Market Comparable Method involves the collection of market data pertaining to the subject assets being appraised. The primary intent of the Market Comparable Method is to determine the desirability of the assets through recent sales or offerings of similar assets currently on the market in order to arrive at an indication of the most probable selling price for the assets being appraised. If the comparable sales are not exactly similar to the asset being appraised, adjustments must be made to bring them as closely in line as possible with the subject asset.
Under the premise of continued use assuming adequate earnings, consideration is given to the cost to acquire similar equipment in the used-equipment market; an allowance then is made to reflect the costs for freight and installation.
3) The Income Capitalization Method
The Income Capitalization Method considers value in relation to the present worth of future benefits derived from ownership and is usually measured through the capitalization of a specific level of income. This approach is most applicable to investment and general-use properties where there is an established and identifiable rental market.
In any valuation study, all three approaches to value must be considered, as one or more approaches may be applicable to value the subject machinery and equipment. In some situations, elements of two or three approaches may be combined to reach an opinion of value.
In assessing the Machinery, since there is no identified active used-equipment market in the PRC that provides information on recent transactions of comparable items, the Market Comparable Method was not applied. On the other hand, since no identifiable rental income can be attributed to a specific piece of equipment or a group of equipment, the Income Capitalization Method to value was not applied. Therefore, we conclude that the Depreciated Replacement Cost Method is deemed to be the most appropriate method of assessing the Machinery under premise of continued use.
For the assets of standard manufacture, we used current manufacturers’ price lists, price quotations and price catalogs to determine the cost of replacement new. Allowances for freight and installation were sometimes required.
– 190 –
APPENDIX VI
VALUATION REPORT ON THE COAL–RELATED ANCILLARY BUSINESS
For the assets of special design or fabrication, we used current market price for labor, current market price for materials, manufactured components, design fees, engineering fees and contractors’ overhead, profit and fee to determine the cost of replacement new. Allowances for freight and installation were sometimes required.
Also, we adopted the assets index factor to estimate the cost of reproduction new of special design or fabrication machinery and equipment. An index factor is applied to the historical cost of valued equipment in order to estimate the current cost of the assets being valued.
The deductions for physical deterioration, functional obsolescence, and economic obsolescence have reflected observed condition; past maintenance and rebuilding history, if any; current use; and planned future utilization.
TITLE INVESTIGATION
In the course of our valuation, we have relied on the advice given by the Group regarding the title to the Buildings and the legal opinion prepared by 山西晉義律師事務 所 (Shanxi Jin Yi Law Firm), the Group’s legal advisor on PRC law, regarding the title to and the interest of the Group in the Buildings.
We are not able to verify the ownership of the Machinery but we have been provided with copies of receipts regarding some major items of the Machinery. We have assumed no responsibility for the title to the Machinery. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that individual items of the Machinery are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect their values. It is further assumed that there are no hidden or unapparent conditions of the Machinery which would render them more or less valuable.
LIMITING CONDITIONS
Our valuations have been carried out in accordance with The HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (1st Edition 2005) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors and under generally accepted valuation procedures and practices, which are in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
We have carried out inspections of the Fixed Assets in the period from 29 to 31 January 2008. We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of the Buildings. However, no structural survey has been made nor have any tests been carried out on any of the building services provided in the Buildings. We are, therefore, not able to report that the Buildings is free from rot, infestation or any other structural defects. Yet, in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects.
– 191 –
APPENDIX VI
VALUATION REPORT ON THE COAL–RELATED ANCILLARY BUSINESS
We have not conducted detailed on-site measurement to verify the correctness of the site and floor areas of the Buildings but have assumed that the areas shown on the documents made available to us are correct. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificate attached are based on information contained in the documents provided to us by the Group and are therefore approximations only.
We have relied to a considerable extent on the information and advices made available to us by Golden Rock Group on such matters as planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, tenure, particulars of occupancy, site and floor areas and all other relevant matters in the identification of the Fixed Assets. We have not seen original planning consents and have assumed that the Buildings will be erected, occupied and used in accordance with such consents.
We have personally conducted an ocular physical inspection of the Machinery, investigated market condition, interviewed personnel, and examined documents and specifications provided to us before arriving at our opinion of defined value. At the time of our inspections, the Machinery were observed to be generally in good working condition and properly maintained. Hence, we have assumed that the Machinery can perform efficiently according to the purposes for which it was designed and built.
We have accepted the records of the Machinery furnished to us by Golden Rock Group as properly describing the Machinery, their costs and their acquisition dates. We have relied to a considerable extent on such records, listings, specifications and documents in arriving at our opinion of value.
Any deferred maintenance, physical wear and tear, operating malfunctions, lack of utility, or other observable conditions distinguishing the Machinery from assets of like kind in new condition were noted and made part of our judgment in arriving at the value.
We have not investigated any industrial safety environmental and health-related regulations in association with this particular manufacturing process. It is assumed that all necessary licenses, procedures, and measures were implemented in accordance with the government legislation and guidance.
We have not investigated any financial data pertaining to the present or prospective earning capacity of the operation in which the Machinery is used. It was assumed that prospective earnings would provide a reasonable return on the fair market value of the Machinery, plus the value of any assets not included in this valuation, and adequate net working capital.
This valuation reflects facts and conditions existing at the Date of Valuation. Subsequent events have not been considered and we are not required to update our report for such events and conditions.

The Directors
Frankie Dominion International Limited 1/F, Yally Industrial Building No. 6 Yip Fat Street Wong Chuk Hang Hong Kong
Dear Sirs,
In accordance with your instructions to value the property of which Frankie Dominion International Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the “Group”) have interests in Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), we confirm that we have carried out physical inspections, made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the capital value of the property interest as at 31 December 2007 (the “date of valuation”).
Our valuation of the property interest represents the market value which we would define as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently, and without compulsion”.
We have valued the property interests in Groups I and II which are held by the Group by direct comparison approach assuming sale of the property interest in its existing state with the benefit of immediate vacant possession and by making reference to comparable sales transactions as available in the relevant market.
Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the seller sells the property interest in the market without the benefit of a deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement, which could serve to affect the value of the property interest.
– 196 –
APPENDIX VII
VALUATION REPORT ON THE GROUP
No allowance has been made in our report for any charge, mortgage or amount owing on any of the property interest valued nor for any expense or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect its value.
In valuing the property interests of the Group in Hong Kong held under the Government Leases expiring before 30 June 1997, we have taken into account the stipulations contained in Annex III of the Joint Declaration of the Government of the United Kingdom and the Government of the People’s Republic of China on the question of Hong Kong and the New Territories Leases (Extension) Ordinance 1988 that such leases have been extended without premium until 30 June 2047 and that a rent of three per cent of the then ratable value is charged per annum from the date of extension.
In valuing the property interests, we have complied with all requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited; the RICS Valuation Standards (6th Edition) published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors; and the HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (1st Edition 2005) published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.
We have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given by the Group and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as tenure, planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, particulars of occupancy, lettings, and all other relevant matters.
We have been provided with copies of title documents relating to the property interests and have caused searches to be made at the Hong Kong Land Registries. However, we have not searched the original documents to verify the ownership or to ascertain any amendment.
We have been shown copies of various title documents including Real Estate Title Certificates and official plans relating to the property interest and have made relevant enquiries. Where possible, we have examined the original documents to verify the existing title to the property interest in the PRC and any material encumbrance that might be attached to the property interest or any tenancy amendment. We have relied considerably on the advice given by the Company’s PRC legal advisers – Guangzhou Foreign Economic Law Office, concerning the validity of the Group’s title of the property interest in the PRC.
We have not carried out detailed measurements to verify the correctness of the areas in respect of the property but have assumed that the areas shown on the title documents and official site plans handed to us are correct. All documents and contracts have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations. No on-site measurement has been taken.
